Nels Rodwell, NCPS

Nels Rodwell is a counsellor who draws on person-centred and cognitive approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and sexual dysfunction. She has 25 years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential, and she meets clients from different nationalities in the United Kingdom and beyond. Nels focuses on practical next steps and on helping people reconnect with their strengths.

Her approach puts the client at the centre. Sessions begin with listening and building trust so people can say what matters to them. Nels blends talking therapies with reflective exercises and, for face-to-face work, she can combine counselling with massage and writing therapy when appropriate.

She helps people work through trauma and abuse by creating space to name what happened and to notice how it shows up now. For relationship concerns she supports clearer communication, boundary work and managing commitment or abandonment fears. She also offers coaching-style input for motivation, confidence and self-esteem.

Nels uses tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside existential ideas about meaning and choice. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful reactions and make different choices in daily life.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She encourages responsibility and self-agency while acknowledging vulnerability and kindness to oneself. People who want practical tools and time to reflect may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Nels uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships, helping people notice patterns and build safer ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy guides the pace of sessions, with the counsellor listening closely and letting the client lead what is explored. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change feelings and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nels will talk with each person about what feels useful and adapt methods to match their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with decisions made together about which tools to try and how to measure progress.

If you are considering online therapy, check what session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in appointments when needed. It can also help maintain continuity for international clients. Discuss practical arrangements and timing with the therapist when you schedule so sessions fit your everyday life.
